Following Manchester United’s hard-fought victory over Coventry in the FA Cup semi-final, post-match celebrations were notably subdued, with only a handful of players displaying visible signs of jubilation.
The dramatic win, secured on penalties at Wembley after a thrilling 3-3 draw in extra time, saw Erik ten Hag’s men squander a commanding 3-0 lead, conceding a late penalty to Haji Wright following an Aaron Wan-Bissaka handball. This unexpected turn of events led to a spirited comeback by the Championship outfit, overshadowing United’s initial dominance.
Given United’s status as a top-tier team with a considerable budget compared to Coventry, the inability to maintain their lead was met with disappointment from both supporters and players alike.
In the aftermath of the victory, reactions among United players varied. Winger Antony opted for a provocative gesture, cupping his ears in front of the Coventry players, while Harry Maguire chose a more diplomatic approach, exchanging handshakes with each member of the opposing team. Meanwhile, goal scorer Hojlund celebrated his crucial contribution, joined by teammates Christian Eriksen, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Omari Forson as they savored the moment of reaching their second consecutive FA Cup final.
However, the celebrations were short-lived for Forson and Wan-Bissaka, who swiftly returned to the halfway line, while Eriksen continued to revel in the victory alongside his fellow players. Casemiro, momentarily unable to watch the final penalty, took a moment of reflection before acknowledging the efforts of his teammates.
United captain Bruno Fernandes briefly diverted his attention towards the opposite end during Hojlund’s decisive penalty before sharing a brief embrace with Diogo Dalot and extending his sportsmanship towards the Coventry players. Substitute Amad Diallo, too, paused for a moment of contemplation before joining his teammates in solidarity.
Regarding Antony’s gesture, Manager Erik ten Hag remarked, “I haven’t witnessed that specific moment, so I’m unable to provide a comment. However, it’s imperative that we acknowledge Coventry City’s commendable efforts, even as we evaluate our own performance, which was commendable until the 70th minute.”
